• The pressure sensors are secured to special aluminium valves that are screwed rigidly
in place. When inflating the tyres and checking the pressure, do not bend the valves
into position.
• Missing valve caps could lead to damage to the valve and the sensors. Always make
sure that all valve caps are fully screwed on. Do not use metal valve caps.
• Do not use convenience valve caps as they do not form a proper seal. This can cause
damage to the sensors.
